Advocacy:

5th March 2009 :Importence of ADVOCAY.

As a part of our course module the ADVOCACY taken by 2 recourse persons namely Ms. UshaRani and Dr.Gopal Dabade, SDM Medical College. This advocacy is a people centered activity and good weapon to make public authority to work honestly. Both the class were very interesting they told their own work experience with advocacy what I understood by class.

What is the meaning of Advocacy?
To protect rights or change unfair discriminatory or insulting treatment to fair, equal, and humane treatment, To improve services, gain eligibility for services or change the amount or quality of services to better meet the needs of an individual and To remove barriers which prevent full access to full participation in community life.

10 Steps in Advocacy
· DEFINE THE PROBLEM—what is the issue? Who do you have the problem with?
· SPELL OUT THE SOLUTION—Define your goals. What do you WANT? Get a picture of VICTORY in your mind!
· DETERMINE YOUR RIGHTS—which department regulates what is going on? Locate and review the appropriate regulations and procedures. If you need assistance understanding the material, get help from someone who is informed. Ask for your rights, even if you can’t find the regulations to back you up.
· WHO WILL DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENS?—who makes the decisions?
· PREPARE YOUR CASE—Get your paperwork and documentation in order. Keep a notebook of phone conversations and correspondence. Plan a strategy. Try to separate feelings from facts.
· PLAN—Write an agenda. Practice presenting your case or problem to a friend or advocate.
· ACT—Make the phone call or write the letter. Be assertive NOT aggressive. State what you want and when you want it.
· EVALUATE YOUR RESULTS—what was the outcome? Will you need to follow-up? How do you feel about the results?
· FOLLOW-UP—Take any necessary follow-up steps. Decide what to do next.
· CELEBRATE—even small victories should be celebrated. Congratulate yourself for taking the steps to resolve your problem.

Right to Information Act,2005 Leads to Good Governance

- A Class by Thippanna & Ashutosh

Introduction:
Above said two instructors thought us RTI act with practical module in 3 days. I am very much happy to mention that these 2 fellows are our seniors in DCSE under DFP.
The Right to Information Act was enacted by Parliament in 2005. It is an effective weapon in the hand of public. We can call this act as base for other all acts. By hearing name of this RTI every Government organization will starts to shivering that may be Central, State government officers and who getting fund from government partially or completely it means every Indian citizen can get information from these offices 13 states are enforced this act in the year 2005(Kerala, Gujarat, Chattisgarh,Haryana,Punjab,Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Orissa and including Karanataka)
“Every shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any media of his choice.” .
This act calling as RTI act 2005 its commenced on 12th October 2005, it apply whole India except Jammu & Kashmir, according to this every information we can get apart from information, disclosure of which would prejudicially affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security, strategic, scientific or economic interests of the State, relation with foreign State or lead to incitement of an offence etc this act bulk of 22 sections.

Some of the important sections:
· Section 4(1)(b) Sue-Muto (Organization self declaration with 17 points)
· 6(1) is file a application for specific information
· 18 complaint on concern person for refusal of application without providing proper information

“Every shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any media of his choice.”

From 3 days class I come to know the following matters relating to RTI.
· Universal access to information
· Right to information includes inspection of records, works and taking certified samples of material.
· “Information” includes that records, e-mails, samples and models.
· It covers all the public authorities, NGOs, private bodies which is getting fund by government
· PIO should provide information.
· No prescribed form for information.
· Reasonable fees (only for photocopies).
· P.I.O. has the duty to assists requesters.
· No need to give reasons for requesting information.
· If Information concerns the life and liberty to be provided within 48 hours
· Information to be providing within 30 days of receipt of request.
· Public can directly make complaints and appeals to information Commission

Finally this act is very much important to access our individual rights. But about this education and awareness programme is required. It is a good platform to common man.

Strength of youth (Dr.Kalam) has inaugurated our foundation, Deshpande Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at B.V.B College of Engineering and Technology, Hubli. After inauguration referring “Vision 2020”, he said: that “All of us have before us a mission of transforming India into a developed nation. The five key areas where India has a core competence for integrated action are agriculture and food processing, education and healthcare, infrastructure, reliable and quality electricity supply, surface transport and infrastructure for all parts of the country, information and communication technology and self-reliance in critical technologies.” He also motioned that these five areas were inter-related and if they progressed in a coordinated way, it would lead to food, economic and national security. “Of the five areas, the major one is development of infrastructure in rural areas through Provision of Urban Amenities in Rural Areas.
